So one day my DSLR stopped working, it doesn’t turn on anymore. I removed battery, recharged it to make sure it has juice but camera still doesn’t turn on.

I found a YouTube video suggesting to remove sd card, battery, lens overnight and should work the next day. But it didn’t happen for me. So i just let it sit there on its bag for 2 weeks. I completely forgot about it and today it started working again after putting the battery in and sd card.

What happened there?

    Or: a software glitch in need of a hard reset.
    Most electronics have a lot of capacitors to stabilize the input voltage.
    When the device is in some low power state, it can take a surprisingly long time until these run out of their charge after disconnecting external power.
